Hey guys, Yuna here. This is just a list of the top ten stupid things I do when I'm really into writing.


1. Yell at the computer when it can't compute my letters fast enough

2. Mash my hands into the keyboard when I can't get a sentence to sound right.

3. Make odd faces when I'm really into what I'm writing.

4. Type super slowly when I keep making the same stupid mistakes.

5. Delete correct letters thinking that they were wrong.

6. Close my laptop in frustration when my main character does something stupid.

7. Start reading the lines of what my character's about to say out loud.

8. Sit there staring at the screen hoping that the story will type itself when writer's block occurs.

9. Yell at my fingers like it's their fault for getting sore.

10. Bite my finger when it keeps hitting the wrong key.

-----------------------------------------------------

11. Get tempted to throw my laptop across the room when I've lost a game of tetris.
-Logan

12. Cry when my characters cry or go through something sad.
13. Bang my head on the computer desk when I get writer's block
14. Scream when the above doesn't work
15. I can't hold still most of the time, so I'm always swaying in my chair
16. I always drink something. I can't focus without a glass next to me
17. I bite my fingers when I stop to think
18. The TV is always on, even though I don't watch it.
19. I'm always texting, then get upset when I continue our conversation in the story and the story in the conversation.
20. I always feel like someone is reading over my shoulder and I hate that
21. I am always using some song for my inspiration
-Desire

22. I have the biggest urge to punt-kick my computer to tuskee.
-Logan

23. Scream at anybody who dares enter my domain while I am writing

24. Stare at the door

25. Set my kitty in front of the keyboard as if shes going to figure out whats going to happen next in my story

26. Bang my head on the wall

27.Eat ice cream until I get a headache

28. Have the urge to detach the monitor from the rest of it
-zoje

If you've got more to add to the list please feel free to say so!!!

I found #3 to be the most hysterical. Probably because I'm sure I've done that at least once if not twice. =]

Thanks. My friends know this as BHOCD because I text them, and it stands for Bangs Head On Computer Desk. They laugh at it too. Oddly, my fan fic character for an Orochimaru based Naruto spin off does this while she's drugged because she has diarrhea of the mouth. It's funny stuff.

And in my heart, things aren't the same.

Another thing I do:

I threaten to kick my computer's teeth out. Don't ask me why, I just look at it and scream "I AM GOING TO KNOCK YOUR FRICKEN TEETH OUT, JETHRO!"

I named my computer Jethro. sweatdrop

And in my heart, things aren't the same.

Jay, we already do, and we love you for it. However, brain freeze is a cure for migraines.

And in my heart, things aren't the same.
